Title: Help me decide on the placment
Post by: Prospeeder on June 19, 2006, 05:44:01 PM
Of these badges i picked up off a 99 GPGT. I like how they look, but its hard to put them on the back of the older GPs without them looking, odd

I think the only acceptable way to moun those would be just like they are mounted on their corresponding cars, side by side either just below or on the decklid itself, in between the tail lamps.

:icon_mrgreen: then they would look good with the matching red paint :thumb: but need pics to enjoy seeing if our idea works :icon_lol:

I agree w/ the others, center them up just under the decklid between the tails...

Similar to that, just imagine the "pontiac" portion not being there.

I suppose I can understand that you want something a bit different. I am not a big fan of the BIG brass Grand Prix Turbo badges or even the STE Turbo badges because of the size...but to put those badges on a TGP would be like idbeast said "basterdizing" a TGP! :icon_neutral: ;) :icon_cool:

Yea i found a better use for them, i glued them on my desk above the moniter

Cause he wants it different I guess :icon_biggrin:, all of ours look the same with the "Turbo" whatever emblem and now his will be different than ours and somewhat custom maybe, dunno.  Not thinking of it being a "turbo" GP and just looking at it being red and the emblems being red looks like a good clean match.  Some go with the no-emblem/shaved look and like it, sort of a sleeper look so maybe this setup will be a sleeper version, then later when he races: "dude you got beat by a regular GP" :laugh:.  Or get more mileage by putting it on at your desk so others will say "so you got a grand prix"  :icon_rolleyes: ummm.....maybe not, might want to get the "Turbo" emblem going if you want someone to really notice your desk emblems :laugh:

I always thought the slanted-lettering GP badges looked wicked tacky.. and this case is no different.

Thanks. I've had them on the white car for a little over four years now. I got them from JCWhitney

http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/ItemBrowse/c-10114/s-10101/p-100000185201/mediaCode-ZX/appId-100000185201/Pr-p_CATENTRY_ID:100000185201

$39.99/each, 304 SS. They would fit a TGP or B4U kitted GP perfectly. I'm going to go w/ a very similar, but better looking, set of tips on my TGP. :icon_mrgreen:
